[gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Transformation required at the validation stage?

["Dillon, Chris" <c.dillon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

I just listened to last Thursday's call. It sounds as if you covered a lot of 
ground, although I haven't yet checked whether the FAQs Rudi circulated contain 
anything that didn't come up on the pages I highlighted as important for us as 
I read the Final report from the EWG on gTLD Directory Services.

At one point Jim Galvin asked whether transformation would be required at the 
validation stage. I would say no to that question. The original language/script 
data are primary and suitable for validation. It's not that transformed data 
cannot be validated, but they need to be high quality (outside Greek, Cyrillic 
and alphabetic scripts often created by human being rather than a computer). 
Actually I think Rudi made a similar point later in the call, but just to 
clarify that.

Regards,

Chris.
